CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas,
Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- BBVA Compass has appointed banking veteran and experienced
industry leader Che Goff as its
Corpus Christi City President, where he will lead all commercial,
small business and Global Wealth operations in the area.
Goff has been with BBVA Compass as a commercial loan officer
since 2013, where he was responsible for growing and maintaining a
portfolio of commercial customers in the Corpus Christi area. Goff now takes the reigns
after demonstrating successful market growth during his tenure.
"Our operations in the Corpus
Christi area have increased substantially over the past five
years," said BBVA Compass Texas Border & Gulf Coast CEO
Jon Rebello. "That's around the time
that Che started with us. That's no coincidence in our eyes. Che
has done more than enough to earn this position and take us to the
next level in Corpus Christi,
building off of what his predecessor accomplished."
Goff replaces Dan Brown, who had
previously announced his retirement from the banking industry.
Brown now serves on the local board of directors for the bank.
Goff is a longtime area resident, moving to the area during his
high school years where he met his now-wife of 20 years. Before
joining BBVA Compass, he was a commercial loan officer at a local
competitor, and was also a chief operating officer of a staffing
company in Portland, Texas.
With over 20 years of experience in the financial industry, Goff
has held the titles of financial analyst, dealer services
supervisor, and regional account manager with various
companies.
"I always tell my customers that I have sat in their seat
before," said Goff. "I understand the stresses of making a payroll
and I think that they appreciate that."
He is also active in the Corpus
Christi community, where he serves as a deacon of Yorktown
Baptist Church, an advisory team member at Corpus Christi
Independent School District, and a banquet board member for the
Coastal Conservation Association. One of his more notable
accomplishments includes being named to Class 42 of Leadership
Corpus Christi.
Goff earned his bachelor's degree and MBA from Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi. Goff
has three children with his wife, and as a true Gulf Coast
resident, enjoys surfing, fishing, hunting and skiing.
